An expression of gratitude for all our moments.
On the islands of Hawaii, in the temples of southern India, on the sacred shores of Brazil –
music and dance are offerings of gratitude. Offered to gods, myths and ancestral creators
that nourish the present, they are an integral part of everyday life. Join us as 45 artists
come together to give thanks through an exquisite synthesis of music, dance and chant.

Cultural, historical, religious and aesthetic influences
converge when 45 artists work together for the first
time. The results are a dramatic journey representing
different lives, memories and legends from the sacred
traditions of India, Brazil and Hawaii.
The shared spirit and intense energy of dancers and
musicians from three of LA’s leading creative forces
represents the legacy of their traditions and the
vitality of our city – Los Angeles.
